^^ it's just the way the light is reflecting off of it. it's the same aero grill.

1st pic looks like the paint isn't matching. Is it just the lighting?

you mean the 1st pic with the color code arches? it's not exactly perfect, especially the surface quality. the plastic is alittle rough, and the shop did a great job to smooth it out as much as possible. also my jet black is not metallic paint, it shows the roughness even more. my friend's Hyper blue did a great job, the metallic makes a day and night difference~!

thanks for all the great words guys !
